Definitions
- This invention relates to an automatic rearview mirror system for automotive vehicles which automatically changes reflectance level in response to glare causing light, and more particularly relates to an improved automatic rearview mirror system using only a rearwardly facing sensor.
- This invention further relates to an automatic rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring system for automotive vehicles which also monitors a vehicle interior or compartment.
- This invention further relates to an automatic rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring system for automotive vehicles which may also be used as a vehicle intrusion detection system or as a compartment image data storage system.
- This invention further relates to an automatic rearview mirror and a vehicle lighting control system using an image sensor, such as a photosensor array.
- the prior art two-sensor type systems generally provided improved performance over prior art single sensor type systems but were also more complex and costly. In part, this was because using separate forwardly and rearwardly facing photocells required that the performance characteristics of the two separate photocells, such as photoresistors, be matched appropriately to ensure consistent performance under various operating conditions. Matching photocells such as photoresistors, however, generally involves complex, expensive and time consuming operations and procedures.
- each of the interior rearview and exterior side view mirrors may reflect different source light levels. More specifically, the inside rearview mirror, left side view mirror and right side view mirror each enable the driver to view a different portion or zone of the total rearward area. Of course, there may be some overlap of the image information contained in each of the three zones. The situation is further complicated with multi-lane traffic because each of the mirrors reflects different light levels caused by the headlights of the vehicles which are following passing or being passed.
- the reflectance level of the interior rearview mirror was reduced to decrease the glare of headlights reflected therein
- the reflectance level of the exterior left and right side view mirrors was also reduced by substantially the same amount, even though, for example, the side view mirrors might not be reflecting the same level of glare light, if any. Accordingly, rear vision in the exterior left and right side view mirrors could be improperly reduced.
- an automatic rearview mirror system for an automotive vehicle having improved reliability and low cost, which accurately determines or otherwise discriminates light levels that the driver will experience as glare without the need for a separate forwardly facing photocell.
- an automatic rearview mirror system of high reliability and low cost which accurately determines light levels that the driver will experience as glare, and which can control independently the reflectance of a plurality of mirrors according to the light levels actually reflected by each of the rearview and exterior side view mirrors without the need for additional and separate rearwardly facing photocells.
- Vehicle lighting systems may include a variety of vehicle lights, including low intensity peripheral or side lights that allow other vehicle drivers to see the vehicle in lower light conditions, high intensity headlights that operate in a low beam mode or a high beam mode for general night driving, and fog lights that provide low ground lighting with less back scattering to improve the driver's views in adverse weather conditions, such as fog, rain and snow.
- Vehicle lighting systems may also include headlights having an intermediate or mid beam mode, as well as the low and high beam modes.
- Vehicle lighting systems may also include vehicle running lights, which are vehicle headlights that are operated at an appropriate intensity to improve the ability of other vehicle drivers to see the vehicle during the day. Vehicle running lights may also be used for lower lighting conditions, such as certain adverse weather conditions or other lower visibility conditions.
- vehicle lighting control systems are required that may operate with other systems, such as automatic rearview mirror systems and vehicle interior monitoring systems, or as stand-alone systems.
- vehicle anti-theft or intrusion detection systems are generally designed to protect the vehicle or its contents from theft or vandalism.
- vehicle anti-theft systems using various sensor technologies that attempt to deter theft or vandalism using the horn, siren or flashing lights, or other alarm, mechanisms to bring attention to a vehicle.
- existing intrusion detection systems for vehicles use sensor technologies that have various limitations, including the problem of false triggering. For example, in many cases active vehicle alarms are simply ignored by people who assume that the alarm was falsely triggered.
- the proliferation of separate automatic rearview mirror systems and vehicle intrusion detection systems is also costly. Therefore, vehicle intrusion detection systems using an improved sensor technology are required that operate in combination with other vehicle systems (such as automatic rearview mirror systems) or that operate independently.
- using a photosensor array and an appropriate control circuit allows the elimination of separate forwardly facing or other non-rearwardly facing photocells, thereby allowing for lower costs and increased reliability since it is not necessary to match two separate photocells such as photoresistors.

- FIG. 1A illustrates an automatic rearview mirror 1 comprising a variable reflectance mirror element Ia and a single rearwardly facing photosensor 2 .
- the photosensor 2 is mounted facing rearwardly of the rearview mirror 1 so that its field of view encompasses an area comprising a rear window area and at least a portion of either or both side window areas.
- a switch 3 to allow a driver to manually control several possible mirror functions, such as an on-off control switch, a sensitivity adjustment and a force-to-day or a force-to-night switch (i.e., forced maximum or minimum reflectance levels, respectively).
- An expanded view of the photosensor 2 which is preferably located in an upper center area of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia as shown, shows a light sensing and logic circuit 26 comprising a photosensor array 32 and a logic and control circuit 34 (which is not shown in FIG. 1A but is shown in FIG. 6 as discussed below).
- a photosensitive surface of each of the photosensor elements 32 a (shown in FIG. 5 ) of the photosensor array 32 senses light levels or image information in a predetermined field of view encompassing an area located rearwardly of the rearview mirror 1 .
- a lens 30 images or otherwise focuses the light information from the predetermined field of view onto the photosensor array 32 .
- the rearview mirror 1 further comprises a channel mount Ib or other mounting means used to fixedly attach the mirror 1 to the windshield or headliner area of the vehicle.
- the rearview mirror 1 is generally adjustable with respect to the channel mount Ib to allow a driver to position the mirror for correct viewing of the rearward area or scene so that the driver's sightline through the rearview mirror 1 is aligned approximately with the vehicle's centerline.
- the photosensor 2 is fixedly mounted on the adjustable portion of the rearview mirror 1 as shown in both FIGS. 1A and 1B so that the viewing axis of the photosensor 2 is generally aligned with the viewing axis of the mirror 1 which is perpendicular to the glass surface of the mirror 1 .
- This approach is preferable both because of packaging concerns and because it provides a guaranteed sightline. It is, however, within the scope of the present invention to mount the photosensor array 32 so that it is movable with respect to the variable reflectance mirror element Ia of the rearview mirror 1 .
- the photosensor 2 is located in the upper center area of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia. This may be required, for example, if it is necessary to reduce the bezel size of the rearview mirror 1 . If the photosensor 2 is located behind a glass surface of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia, an appropriately sized hole is provided in the protective and reflective materials of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia. Additionally, a corresponding area within an active layer of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia may be removed or otherwise rendered inactive to enable the photosensor 2 to view directly the rearward scene.
- the photosensor 2 may view the rearward scene through the active layer of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia, in which case it is preferable to compensate for or otherwise negate the effects of reducing reflectance and correspondingly the transmittance of the variable reflectance mirror element Ia so that the photosensor 2 effectively views the rearward scene directly as will be described later.
- a reflective surface is maintained within the hole to both preserve the cosmetic appearance of the assembly as viewed by the driver and to maximize the reflective surface.
- This can be achieved by providing a very thin metal reflective layer (100 A thickness or lower) of aluminum, stainless steel, chromium, or silver, etc., so as to be sufficiently transmitting for incident light to enable proper operation of the photosensor array 32 but also sufficiently reflective to appear mirror-like in the area of the hole.
- a reflective tape which is both sufficiently transmitting and reflective to achieve the objectives described herein, may be adhered at the hole region using suitable means such as an optical adhesive and the photosensor array 32 may then be mounted behind the optical adhesive.
- thin film stacks such as a solid state tri-layer of wave TiO 2 , 1 ⁇ 4 wave SiO 2 and 1 ⁇ 4 wave TiO 2 or some other single thin film of a high index material may be mounted behind or coated upon the area of the hole.
- the preferred photosensor array 32 is responsive to both visible light and near infrared, it is preferable to select a material which reflects a significant proportion of visible light while being essentially transparent to infrared.
- the photosensor 2 may also be located in the bezel or chin of the rearview mirror 1 to view the rearward area directly without any compensation.
- the photosensor 2 may also be located on or near the channel mount or mounting bracket Ib so that the axis of the photosensor 2 , which is perpendicular to the plane of the photosensor array 32 , is in fixed alignment with the vehicle's centerline regardless of the adjusted position of the rearview mirror 1 .
- a sensing and logic circuit assembly 27 which comprises a sensing and logic circuit 26 and the photosensor 2 and switch 3 on a printed circuit board, is located in a housing or module 7 that is attached, connected, made integral or otherwise associated with the rearview mirror 1 .
- a mounting bracket 6 is fixed relative to the headliner area of the vehicle body in a header mount arrangement; and a rearview mirror head assembly 1 h is adjusted by a spherical pivot 6 d at the interface of the mounting bracket 6 and the rearview mirror head assembly 1 h .
- the mounting bracket 6 may also be releasably attached to a mounting button (not shown) that is attached to the windshield to provide generally improved ease of assembly and replacement, as well as safety.
- the mounting bracket 6 may be attached to the windshield or headliner area of the vehicle by any of the various means well known to those skilled in the art.
- the mounting bracket 6 comprises a retaining spring 6 a , a retaining screw 6 b , a wire harness opening 6 c for receiving a wire harness assembly 8 , and a spherical pivot 6 d having an opening for wires 6 e that are used to control the variable reflectance mirror element Ia.
- the housing or module 7 comprises a retaining housing or module 7 a for partially mounting the sensing and logic circuit assembly 27 , a rear housing or module cover 7 b , a heat sink 7 c for the sensing and logic circuit assembly 27 , a screw 7 d for securing the heat sink 7 c to the mirror bracket 6 , and a wire connector 7 e for connecting the harness assembly 8 and wires 6 e to the sensing and control circuit assembly 27 .
- the harness assembly 8 is used, in part, to supply power to the sensing and logic circuit assembly 27 .
- the automatic rearview mirror 1 comprises the variable reflectance mirror element Ia, a mirror cushion support 1 c , an impact absorber layer Id, a bezel 1 e , a mirror case 1 f and clamp springs 1 g for receiving and securing the spherical pivot 6 d of the mounting bracket 6 .
- the photosensor 2 may also be located with each of the external side view mirrors as will be described later.
- the lens 30 is preferably a single molded plastic lens approximately 2 millimeters in diameter and is preferably bonded to or in close contact with the photosensor array 32 .
- the lens 30 may, however, include any appropriate image focusing means such as conventional single component optics, holographic lens type optics, binary optics or a microlens.
- the lens 30 preferably is also designed to focus an image of the rearward scene within a field of view defined by a cone.
- the cone's centerline is perpendicular to the plane of the photosensor array 32 and the cone preferably has an included angle of approximately 100 degrees. Thus, the image is focused onto a circular area of the plane of the photosensor array 32 .
- the photosensor array 32 could be positioned in other than a rearwardly facing direction so long as appropriate lenses or other optics are used to direct the light or image information from the rearward area onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensor array 32 .
- the pre-positioning of the photosensor array 32 in the rearview mirror 1 depends on whether the automatic rearview mirror system 20 is being used in a left hand or a right hand drive vehicle. In either case, the photosensor array 32 is preferably pre-positioned within the circular area of the focused image so that for either a left or right hand drive vehicle and with only driver adjustment of the rearview mirror 1 , the rearward scene imaged onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensor array 32 includes the rear window area and at least a portion of the left and right side window areas of the vehicle.
- a sufficiently large photosensor array 32 is used, then the pre-positioning of the photosensor array 32 is not vehicle specific as described above, and a system 20 using a larger photosensor array 32 may be used for both left and right hand drive vehicles.
- the larger photosensor array 32 is positioned symmetrically within the circular area of the focused image described above.
- Using the larger photosensor array 32 involves using a pattern recognition means to determine the approximate vehicle centerline so that the appropriate portion of the larger photosensor array 32 may be selected depending on whether the automatic rearview mirror system 20 is installed in a left or right hand drive vehicle.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an automatic rearview mirror system 20 for an automotive vehicle, comprising the rearview mirror 1 , a left side view mirror 4 and a right side view mirror 5 .
- the side view mirrors 4 and 5 may be connected to a control circuit of the rearview mirror 1 .
- the mirrors 1 , 4 and 5 may be constructed according to any of the methods known to those skilled in the art and are generally constructed according to the styling preferences and specifications of the automotive vehicle manufacturers.
- the means for mounting the rearview mirror 1 such as the channel mount Ib, and the electrical connectors used to connect the mirrors 4 and 5 to the control circuit of the rearview mirror 1 and the vehicle's electrical system may include anyone of the many configurations known to those having ordinary skill in the art.
- the variable reflectance mirror element Ia of the mirrors 1 , 4 and 5 may be any device having more than one reflectance level corresponding to a specific control or drive signal. Preferably, however, the variable reflectance mirror element Ia is an electrochromic mirror.
- the photosensor 2 is mounted facing rearwardly of the rearview mirror 1 so that its field of view encompasses an area comprising the rear window area and at least a portion of both the left side window area and the right side window area.
- the horizontal and vertical fields of view of the rearward area as seen by the photosensor 2 , and more particularly by the photosensor array 32 are illustratively shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B .
- the photosensor array 32 senses a field of view divided into three separate zones: a center zone a, a left zone b (generally corresponding to the left side window area) and a right zone c (generally corresponding to the right side window area).
- Each zone is sensed by a separate set or sub-array S(X) of photosensor elements 32 a (described with respect to FIGS. 4A and 4B ) within the photosensor array 32 .
- the center zone, zone a generally receives light from the rear window area of the vehicle.
- This rear window area is depicted by a trapezoidally shaped rear window figure superimposed on a first set or sub-array S(1) of photosensor elements 32 a used to sense light levels in zone a.
- Zone b includes light from at least a portion of a left side window area.
- zone c includes light from at least a portion of a right side window area.
- zones include light reflected from whatever fixed body work and interior trim, head rests, vehicle occupants or other objects that are within the zones a, b and c.
- the photosensor elements 32 a in columns 1 to 4 comprise the third photosensor element set in zone c
- the photosensor elements 32 a in columns 6-11 comprise the first photosensor element set in zone a
- the photosensor elements 32 a in columns 13 to 16 comprise the second photosensor element set in zone b.
- Null zones are provided between the zones a and b and between the zones a and c to allow for driver adjustment of the rearview mirror 1 . These null zones also ensure that the center zone a does not include light or other image information from the side window areas of zones b and c.
- the logic and control circuit 34 selects photosensor element signals from the first photosensor element set or sub-array S(1) (shown in FIG. 4B ) corresponding to zone a to control the reflectance level of the rearview mirror 1 .
- the control circuit 34 selects photosensor element signals from the second photosensor element set or sub-array S(2) (shown in FIG. 4B ) corresponding to zone b to control the reflectance level of the left side view mirror 4 , and further selects photosensor element signals from the third photosensor element set or sub-array S(3) (shown in FIG. 4B ) corresponding to zone c to control the reflectance level of the right side view mirror 5 .
- variable reflectance mirror element Ia having segments, such as a center, left and right segment, appropriately defined zones a, b and c, i.e., sub-arrays S(1), S(2) and S(3), corresponding to the mirror segments may be used by the logic and control circuit 34 to control independently the individual mirror segments.
- FIG. 3B illustratively shows the preferred embodiment for the zones of the photosensor array 32 .
- the logic and control circuit 34 selects photosensor element signals from three overlapping sets or sub-arrays S(1), S(2) and S(3) of photosensor elements 32 a corresponding to the three overlapping zones a, b and c to control, respectively, the reflectance level of the mirrors 1 , 4 and 5 . More specifically, the control circuit 34 selects photosensor element signals from the photosensor elements 32 a in columns 6 to 11 (zone a) to control the reflectance level of the rearview mirror 1 .
- the control circuit 34 also selects photosensor element signals from photosensor elements 32 a in columns 10 to 14 (zone b) to control the reflectance level of the left side view mirror 4 , and further selects photosensor element signals from photosensor elements 32 a in columns 3 to 7 (zone c) to control the reflectance level of the right side view mirror 5 .
- the lens 30 focuses or images light information from: (1) the rear window area onto zone a; (2) at least a portion of the rear window and left side window areas onto zone b; and (3) at least a portion of the rear window and right side window areas onto zone c.
- the lens 30 focuses light from: (1) the rear window area onto zone a; (2) the left side window area onto zone b; and (3) the right side window area onto zone c.
- each set of overlapping photosensor elements 32 a in zones a and b and each set of overlapping photosensor elements 32 a in zones a and c, as well as the logic and control circuit 34 is able to “preview” the light information that may, for example, first appear in the rear window area (and correspondingly in the rearview mirror 1 ), but which may appear shortly thereafter in the left or right side view mirrors 4 and 5 .
- the automatic rearview mirror system 20 is able to more quickly respond to annoying glare light from approaching vehicles or other sources.
- Overlapping zones are also generally preferred because a glare light source located in a common or overlapping area of the rearview mirror 1 and one of the side view mirrors 4 or 5 can influence both mirrors.
- the light sensing device of the light sensing and logic circuit 26 is preferably the photosensor array 32 shown in FIG. 5 .
- the photosensor array 32 has sufficient resolution to view the real image of a scene but may also use a spatial distribution of light intensities as an approximation of the imaged scene.
- An example of such a photosensor array 32 is the VLSI Vision Limited (VVL) Single Chip Video Camera Model #ASIS 1011.
- a photosensor array 32 of the type described namely the VVL Single Chip Video Camera
- VVL Single Chip Video Camera is capable of providing image information having sufficient resolution for displaying an actual image or for some other purpose
- additional features or functions may be incorporated by adding circuitry to provide video output from the photosensor array 32 in addition to the primary control functions described herein.
- the video output may be output to a CRT, flat LC panel display or other appropriate display device, located within the vehicle, to provide a display of the imaged scene for viewing by the driver.
- the photosensor array 32 may be located in any of the mirrors 28 or in any other appropriate location, whether local or remote, such as on the vehicle's rear bumper, thereby extending significantly the effective field of view normally available to the driver either directly or through the vehicle's mirrors 28 .
- the photosensor array 32 may even replace one or more of the side view mirrors 4 and 5 of the automatic rearview mirror system 20 , thereby reducing the aerodynamic drag on the vehicle while providing sufficient information to the driver comparable to that available through the side view mirrors 4 and 5 .
- a video signal from the photosensor array 32 may also be used by the logic and control circuit 34 to determine the presence of a vehicle or other object within the field of view of the photosensor array 32 to provide a visual signal warning such as through a display panel, or even an audible warning, based on certain parameters, such as distance and speed of the object. Additionally, if the photosensor array 32 is located in the rearview mirror 1 , the video signal may be used to monitor the vehicle's interior to detect unauthorized intrusion into the vehicle. This may be achieved by providing electrical power to the mirror's logic and control circuit 34 from a vehicle power supply and by activating a vehicle intrusion monitoring mode when a signal indicates that the vehicle's door and trunk locks have been activated. The logic and control circuit 34 may be used to continuously monitor the image from the vehicle's interior thereby allowing detection of objects or persons moving within the vehicle, and if movement is detected, another signal from the logic and control circuit 34 may then activate an intrusion alarm.
- the photosensor array 32 may be used to monitor the vehicle interior or compartment in a vehicle interior monitoring system. This monitoring capability may be used in a vehicle intrusion detection system or in a compartment image data storage system, either in combination with the automatic rearview mirror system or as an independent system. Using the photosensor array 32 to monitor the vehicle interior to detect potential intruders provides an effective vehicle intrusion detection system. In an automatic rearview mirror and vehicle intrusion detection system, the photosensor array 32 in the rearview mirror 1 provides a good location for monitoring the vehicle interior because the rearview mirror 1 is: (1) centrally located along the vehicle axis; (2) forward of the front seat; and (3) relatively high in the vehicle interior.
- the photosensor array 32 may also be positioned in other locations, including the headliner and headliner console areas, for example, or any other appropriate location depending on the particular application.
- the logic and control circuit 34 processes image data to detect motion or movement in the vehicle interior, establishes an intrusion condition if such motion is detected and outputs one or more control signals to vehicle hardware or to a vehicle controller system.
- Vehicles today are often equipped with such controller systems. These vehicle controller systems may be used to control the exterior lights, interior lights, horn (or siren), ignition or other such vehicle hardware.
- the logic and control circuit 34 therefore outputs one or more control signals to various vehicle hardware or to the vehicle controller system to activate the interior and exterior lights, horn or siren or to disable the ignition to deter intruders from stealing the vehicle or its contents.
- Other control output signals may activate RF beacon devices or similar devices within the vehicle so that the vehicle may be tracked, as will be further described later.
- the light sensing device may comprise any similarly appropriate image or array sensor.
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 is formed as a very-large-scale-integrated (VLSI) complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device, as is known to those skilled in the art, the light sensing device will share a common semiconductor substrate with the logic and control circuit 34 .
- VLSI very-large-scale-integrated
- CMOS complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor
- the photosensor array 32 comprises a plurality of photosensor elements 32 a arranged in 160 columns and 40 rows (a 160 ⁇ 40 array) providing a horizontal field of view of approximately 100 degrees and a vertical field of view of approximately 30 degrees.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B illustratively show a 16 ⁇ 4 photosensor array 32 .
- the photosensor array 32 may, however, comprise any appropriately sized array having an appropriate field of view. For example, the field of view may be narrower when controlling the segments of only one mirror.
- Each photosensor element 32 a is preferably about 10 microns square.
- the photosensor array 32 generally comprises a plurality of photosensor elements 32 a arranged in a photosensor array PA(N, M) having N rows of M columns.
- the lower row is row 1
- the top row is row N
- the left hand column is column 1
- the right hand column is column M.
- a specific photosensor element is identified as E(n, m) and the signal indicative of a light level incident thereon is L(n, m).
- a background sub-array S(X) designated S(0) is used to determine a general background light level B.
- Signals from the photosensor elements 32 a of each peak sub-array S(X), designated S(1), S(2), . . . , S(Z), are used to determine a peak light level P(z) incident on each peak sub-array S(1), S(2), . . . , S(Z).
- the general background light level B for background sub-array S(0) and the peak light level P(z) for each peak sub-array S(X) are then used to determine a mirror control signal V C (z) for controlling at least one mirror or mirror segments associated with each zone.
- FIG. 5 generally illustrates a logic layout of the photosensor array 32 .
- the logic and control circuit 34 generates array control signals to control the photosensor array 32 .
- the photosensor array 32 is typically accessed in scan-line format, with the array 32 being read as consecutive rows, and within each row as consecutive columns or pixels.
- Each photosensor element 32 a is connected to a common word-line 33 e .
- a vertical shift register 33 a To access the photosensor array 32 , a vertical shift register 33 a generates word-line signals for each word-line 33 e to enable each row of photosensor elements 32 a .
- Each column of photosensor elements 32 a is connected to a bit-line 33 f which is connected to a charge-to-voltage amplifier 33 c .
- a horizontal shift register 33 b uses a line 33 g to output the bit-line signals on consecutive bit-lines 33 f to an output line 33 h connected to the logic and control circuit 34 . Also shown is a voltage amplifier 33 d used to amplify the resulting analog photosensor element signals. The analog photosensor element signals are then output on line 33 h to the analog-to-digital converter 44 and converted to digital photosensor element signals.
- FIGS. 11A and 11B illustrate the normalized spectral response for two versions of the preferred photosensor array 32 .
- visible light generally covers the wavelengths from about 400 nm to about 750 nm
- near infrared illumination or light generally covers the wavelengths from about 750 nm to about 3000 nm (not shown).
- FIG. 11A illustrates the normalized spectral response of the preferred photosensor array 32 made using a non-epitaxial silicon process, where the peak spectral response occurs at about 800 nm.
- FIG. 11A illustrates the normalized spectral response of the preferred photosensor array 32 made using a non-epitaxial silicon process, where the peak spectral response occurs at about 800 nm.
- FIG. 11B shows the normalized spectral response of the preferred photosensor array 32 made using an epitaxial silicon process, where the peak spectral response occurs at about 650 nm.
- the non-epitaxial silicon photosensor array is more sensitive to near infrared illumination having wavelengths on the order of about 800 nm.
- the photosensor array 32 made using the non-epitaxial silicon process and having the normalized spectral response of FIG. 11A is most preferred in both the particular automatic rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring systems described herein. For automatic rearview mirror systems as described herein, this is because vehicle headlights generally provide significant levels of near infrared illumination. For vehicle interior monitoring systems as described herein, either natural sources (such as sunlight) or supplemental sources of near infrared illumination may be used to enhance the image information available to and the performance of such systems, as will be further discussed below.
- the field of view and resolution of the photosensor array 32 depends on the number and physical dimensions of the photosensor elements 32 a and on the design or geometry of the lens 30 .
- the lens 30 may, for example, be designed to have an included angle on the order of up to about 140°.
- the effective field of view of approximately 100° horizontal and approximately 30° vertical is preferred.
- an effective field of view of approximately 100° horizontal and approximately 75° vertical is preferred.
- the lens 30 preferably focuses an image within a field of view defined by a cone having an included angle of approximately 100 degrees. Accordingly, when the lens 30 focuses the image onto the focal plane of the 160 ⁇ 40 photosensor array 32 , the photosensor array 32 only falls within a segment of the focused image area.
- FIG. 2A generally illustrates a view of a vehicle interior 100 (which includes the window areas of FIGS. 3A and 3B ) as focused by the lens 30 and as viewed by a 160 ⁇ 120 photosensor array 32 . Also shown are a driver or left seat 101 , a front passenger or right seat 102 , a rear window area 103 a , a right side window area 103 b and a left side window area 103 c .
- the 160 ⁇ 40 photosensor array 32 however, only sees a portion or segment of the vehicle interior 100 , as is shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B .
- the 160 ⁇ 40 sized array is generally preferred since it provides sufficient image information for providing effective automatic rearview mirror control and because it reduces the cost of the photosensor array 32 . If the photosensor array 32 is also used to monitor the vehicle interior 100 (or for other applications) as is described herein, then the larger 160 ⁇ 120 array size may be used to view the vehicle interior 100 as is generally illustrated in FIG. 2A .
- the spatial resolution of the photosensor array 32 may also be increased. This may be done by making the photosensor elements 32 a smaller so as to increase the number of photosensor elements 32 a in a photosensor array 32 having the same physical dimensions. Additionally, spatial resolution may be increased by varying the lens 30 to decrease the included angle of the image cone so that the photosensor array 32 views a smaller portion of an image on the vehicle interior 100 .
- the array size of the photosensor array 32 and the number and physical dimensions of the size of the photosensor elements 32 a and the lens design or geometry of lens 30 may all be varied to optimize the effective field of view of the photosensor array 32 depending on the application.
- an exposure time or exposure period EP of the photosensor array 32 may be varied over some range depending on the light level.
- the value of EP is increased for decreasing light levels and approaches a maximum for low light levels, and it is decreased for increasing light levels and approaches a minimum for high light levels.
- EP V of the exposure period there is a light level LL MIN that is sufficiently distinct from low signal noise in the photosensor element signal L(n, m) of each photosensor element E(n, m) so that it may be accurately sensed, and there is also a light level LL MAX for which the photosensor element signal L(n, m) of each photosensor element E(n, m) is a maximum.
- the image data is preferably optimized such that it is approximately centered within the dynamic range DR(N,M) of the photosensor array 32 . This may be done by determining an array response AR of RA(N,M), which is described later, where the minimum and maximum digital values of AR correspond to the minimum and maximum digital values possible for Val RA(n, m) (e.g., 0 and 255 for 8-bit data resolution).
- the exposure period is varied or adjusted until AR approaches the center or mid-point of the possible data value range (e.g., 127 for 8-bit data resolution).
- a supplemental source of illumination may be desirable or necessary to enhance the effective sensing capabilities of the photosensor array 32 by providing supplemental source illumination SSI.
- the photosensor array 32 is able to monitor the vehicle interior 100 over a range 5 of background lighting levels from about 0.1 lux (a dark garage) to about 30-60K lux (a bright, sunny day), using either visible or near infrared SSI to illuminate the vehicle interior 100 generally (or specific areas therein) significantly enhances the effectiveness or performance of the photosensor array 32 in various applications.
- SSI is preferably provided only during the exposure period EP of the photosensor array 32 rather than continuously.
- Pulsed SSI reduces power consumption, extends the life of the supplemental source of illumination and provides generally higher instantaneous illumination than may be provided by continuous illumination. Also, pulsed infrared SSI is generally more difficult to detect by infrared illumination sensing apparatus that may be used by potential intruders.
- near infrared illumination between about 700 and 1200 nm is preferred because: (1) it is visible to the photosensor array 32 but not to the human eye (see FIGS. 11A and 11B ); and (2) it does not affect adaption of the human eye.
- near infrared illumination sources including solid-state sources such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, flash lamps such as xenon or krypton lamps, incandescent lamps such as tungsten lamps, as well as many others.
- GaAs gallium arsenide
- GaAlAs gallium aluminum arsenide
- LEDs provide a relatively narrow band (about 750 to 950 nm) of near infrared illumination (see FIGS. 11A and 11B ).
- Such illumination sources are also typically packaged with a lens to distribute the illumination.
- the illumination distribution characteristics of readily available lens/source packages may range from narrow so as to provide spot or collimated illumination to very diffuse so as to cover about 160°.
- the lens/source package preferably provides illumination coverage on the order of about 100°.
- illumination sources providing broad-band illumination (ultraviolet through infrared) may also be used, but it may be desirable or necessary to filter such broad-band illumination using absorption or interference type filters, or any other appropriate filter.
- an interference filter known as a long-wave pass filter or cold mirror reflects visible light, transmits infrared illumination and looks like the normal silvered mirrors typically used in the rearview mirror 1 .
- silvered mirrors reflect near infrared illumination. Since the cold mirror resembles the silvered mirror in the rearview mirror 1 , it may be used to replace a section or even all of the silvered mirror.
- the supplemental source of illumination may be located behind the cold mirror element and adjacent to the photosensor array 32 with an opaque barrier separating the two to prevent supplemental illumination reflections within the rearview mirror 1 from directly affecting the photosensor array 32 .
- a long-wave pass absorption filter may be used with a supplemental source of broad-band infrared illumination.
- Long-wave pass absorption filters may be fabricated using a wide variety of polymers having appropriate optical transmission characteristics such as epoxies, acrylics, polycarbonates, as well as a variety of glasses. The acrylic and polycarbonate polymers are preferred because they are environmentally stable, cost effective and because they may be used to injection mold parts having various geometric shapes or polished or textured surfaces.
- the photosensor array 32 and supplemental source of illumination may be integrated into the rearview mirror 1 or elsewhere within or on the vehicle so that they are not readily apparent to vehicle occupants, passers by or potential intruders.

- FIG. 7 shows an overview of the logic flow chart and method for controlling the reflectance levels of any one or all of the mirrors or mirror segments 28 a , 28 b or 28 c . It should be understood that the reflectance level of each of the mirrors 28 a , 28 b and 28 c in the automatic rearview mirror system of the present invention may be commonly or independently controlled.
- FIGS. 8A , 8 B and 9 provide more detail on the logic and method of FIG. 7 .
- step S 101 of FIG. 7 light information seen rearwardly of the rearview mirror 1 is incident on the lens 30 .
- step S 110 light passing through the lens 30 is refracted such that the light information is imaged or focused onto the photosensitive surface of the photosensor array 32 .
- step S 120 the logic circuit 46 generates and outputs the array control signals to the photosensor array 32 .
- step S 130 photosensor element signals indicative of the light levels incident on each of the photosensor elements 32 a are generated.
- step S 140 these photosensor element signals are temporarily stored in RAM or any other appropriate memory.
- steps S 150 and S 160 the logic circuit 46 determines values for the background light signal and the peak light signal for each zone corresponding to each of the mirrors 28 .
- step S 180 the logic circuit 46 uses the background and peak light signals of step S 150 to determine the control signals required to cause each of the mirrors 28 to achieve a desired reflectance level. Also, the logic and control circuit 34 in step S 180 reads and processes the states of the optional sensitivity control circuit 42 , force-to-day switch 36 , force-to-night switch 40 and reverse-inhibit switch 38 . In step S 200 , the mirror drive circuits 24 use the control signals determined in step S 180 to generate drive signals to cause the mirrors 28 to assume the desired reflectance levels in step S 210 .
- the logic circuit 46 determines the background light signal B t in steps S 150 and S 160 by calculating the average value of the photosensor element signals, previously stored in RAM in step S 140 , for the photosensor elements 32 a in a lowest row or rows of the photosensor array 32 corresponding to an area below the rear window. With respect to FIGS. 3A and 3B , this means that the background light signal B t is determined from photosensor element signals generated by the photosensor elements 32 a located in row D of the photosensor matrix array 32 . The logic circuit 46 may then output B t to the RAM 50 for later processing. The logic circuit 46 may also determine by calculating an average value of all of the photosensor element signals in the entire photosensor array 32 .
- the background light signal B t for the rearward scene may be determined by calculating the average value of X percent of the lowest photosensor element signal values in the RAM array RA(N,M), where X is preferably 75, but typically may be in the range of 5 to 100.
- an exposure period EP may be used to determine the background light signal B t .
- An array response AR may be determined using an array average method, as is also described herein, for the photosensor element signal values corresponding to a sub-array S(X) of the photosensor elements 32 a of the photosensor array 32 that correspond to an area below the rear window.
- the exposure period EP may be varied within an operating point range OP ⁇ R, where OP is 10 and R is 5 (8-bit data), but where OP may be from 5 to 175 and R may be from 2 to 15.
- the exposure period is varied to maintain AR within OP ⁇ R.
- the background light signal B t may therefore be determined where B t varies inversely with EP.
- the background light signal B t is preferably change-limited to determine a limited background light signal B Lt .
- the signal may be change-limited, for example, by limiting changes in the background light signal B t to 2% per time frame.
- a time frame may be, for example, 250 milliseconds or any other time relating to the rate at which the logic circuit 46 samples the photosensor element signals from the photosensor array 32 .
- B Lt is greater than B L(t-1) , then the logic circuit 46 may use a higher change-limit value C LH to determine B Lt . If the background light signal B Lt is less than or equal to B L(t-1) , then the logic circuit 46 may use a lower change limit value C LL to determine B Lt .
- the values C LH and C LL are in the range of 0.01 to 2, but are preferably on the order of about 0.02 or 2%.
- the logic circuit 46 in step S 150 also determines the peak light signal P(z) for each zone or sub-array S(X) of the photosensor matrix array 32 .
- the peak light signal P(z) used to determine the appropriate mirror control signal V C (z) for the mirror 28 may be determined by counting or summing the number of occurrences where the digital value for a photosensor element signal is greater than a peak threshold value F for each zone or sub-array S(X).
- the resulting count or sum P(z) provides a measure of the peak light level for the following reasons.
- One design objective of the lens 30 and the photosensor array 32 combination is to be able to measure background light levels in the approximate range of 0.01 to 0.1 lux when driving on sufficiently dark roads. This is achieved by ensuring that the lens 30 , photosensor elements 32 a and charge-to-voltage amplifiers 33 c are able to measure such light levels and by providing a maximum exposure time.
- the maximum exposure time determines the operating frequency or sampling rate of the system 20 . In the case of the described system, 1.5 MHz has been found to be appropriate.
- a wide range of background light levels in the range of 0.01 to 1000 lux can be measured.
- the exposure time is relatively long such that headlights within the rearward area cause the affected photosensor elements 32 a to saturate.
- the exposure time is reduced. Saturation occurs when the incident light charges the photosensor element 32 a to capacity so that any excess charge will leak or transfer to adjacent photosensor elements 32 a .
- This charge leakage effect is commonly referred to as “blooming.” It has been found that a count of the number of photosensor elements 32 a at or near saturation, i.e., those having digital values greater than the peak threshold value F, provides an excellent approximation of the peak light levels and is further described in FIG. 8A . The above described method effectively extends the range of measurable light levels for the photosensor array 32 .
- photosensor element signals are indicative of the incident light level or intensity and the time period for which they are exposed to such light.
- the incident light intensity may be determined from the photosensor element signal generated by each photosensor element 32 a .
- the logic and control circuit 34 processes all of the photosensor element signals for each photosensor element 32 a of the photosensor array 32 .
- This signal processing at least includes the process of storing the digital value of each photosensor element signal to obtain RA(N,M), but normally includes all other processing for each image data set RA(N,M) up to and including the generation of output control signals, such as the mirror control signal V C (z).
- the time from the beginning of the exposure period EP through the processing of each image data set RA(N,M) and the generation of the appropriate output control signals is referred to as the operating or sampling period, and the frequency thereof is referred to as the operating frequency or sampling rate.
- the frequency at which the process is repeated may also be referred to as the frame rate or the image sampling frequency.
- the rate of each sub-process (e.g., exposure period) within the sampling period is controlled by the system clock 47 .
- the frame rate or image sampling frequency is essentially fixed for a particular system clock frequency.
- the total period corresponds to a maximum exposure period EP and the total processing time relating to an image data set RA(N,M).
- the system clock frequency may be adjusted to scale the image sampling frequency, thereby adjusting EP.
- the maximum exposure period, the operating or sampling period, the signal processing time and the frequency of the system clock 47 should be considered in each application.
- the peak light signal P(z) may be determined by calculating an average value of Y percent of the highest photosensor element signal values for each zone, where Y is preferably 10, but may be in the range of 1 to 25.
- Y is preferably 10
- the control signal V C (z) is then output to the mirror drive circuits 24 in step S 180 to drive the mirrors 28 or segments thereof to their desired reflectance level in the steps S 200 and S 210 .
- FIG. 12 shows the logic flow chart and method for the vehicle interior monitoring system or mode.
- step S 301 the logic circuit 46 initializes the system, sets EP to its maximum and if used, SSI to a predetermined minimum, such as zero.
- step S 310 the logic circuit 46 reads any analog control input signals 70 ( 70 a to 70 n of FIG. 6A ) and/or digital control input signals 75 ( 75 a to 75 n of FIG. 6A ) that may be used in the vehicle interior monitoring mode.
- step S 315 the photosensor element signals are generated, processed and stored in RAM 50 by the logic circuit 46 (see steps S 101 to S 140 of FIG. 7 ).
- the logic circuit 46 also applies the lens correction factor LC(n,m) to each digital value Val RA(n,m) indicative of the photosensor element signal L(n,m) of each photosensor element 32 a in the RAM array RA(N,M) to correct for the effect of lens 30 .
- step S 320 the logic circuit 46 determines the array response AR, which is indicative of either RA(N,M) (an entire image data frame or set RA (t) at time t) or of a selected sub-array or sub-set thereof RS (N S ,M S ) (a partial image data frame or set RS (t) at time t), where N S and M S are the row and column dimensions corresponding to a selected sub-array S(X) of the photosensor array 32 .
- the logic circuit 46 processes the image data frame RA (t) using one of the methods described below to determine the array response AR.
- An appropriate operating point range OP ⁇ R is associated with each AR calculation method.
- appropriate OP and R values are 127 and 20 (8-bit data resolution), respectively; however, the operating point range may be non-symmetrical for some tasks by using non-symmetrical R values, such as +20 and ⁇ 10.
- An alternative method is the “no saturation” method, in which, EP is set to its highest level at which there is no saturation or blooming in any photosensor element 32 a .
- the logic circuit 46 reduces EP until the peak value of RA (t) or RS (t) is within the operating point range OP ⁇ R. It has been found that appropriate OP and R values are 249 and 5, respectively.
- Still another method involves maximizing the useful image area, in which the logic circuit 46 determines AR by determining the difference between the number of photosensor elements 32 a having digital values of 0 and the number having digital values of 255 (8-bit data resolution).
- appropriate OP and R values are 0 and 5% of the number of photosensor elements 32 a corresponding to the image data set RA (t) or sub-array RS (t) . It should be understood that the specific values, such as 127 and 255, are based on 8-bit data resolution and would be appropriately scaled for other data resolutions.
- step S 330 and S 360 it is determined whether AR is in the operating point range OP ⁇ R. If AR is outside the range, then the image data frame is either too bright (AR>OP+R) or too dim (AR ⁇ OP ⁇ R) and EP and SSI are incrementally increased or decreased according to steps S 340 , S 341 , S 342 or S 350 , S 351 , S 352 . This is repeated for every image data frame RA(t). The system thus optimizes EP and SSI for the particular circumstances at system startup, and thereafter continues to adjust EP and SSI to maintain AR within the operating point range OP ⁇ R as lighting conditions change.
- the vehicle interior monitoring system/mode enters a primary task routine or mode in step S 370 , such as the vehicle intrusion detection system/mode (S 400 ) of FIG. 12A or the compartment image data storage system/mode (S 500 ) of FIG. 12B .
- a primary task routine or mode such as the vehicle intrusion detection system/mode (S 400 ) of FIG. 12A or the compartment image data storage system/mode (S 500 ) of FIG. 12B .
- the program After completing the primary task routine, the program returns to the vehicle interior monitoring mode to generate and store another image data frame RA(t).
- the general lighting conditions of the rearward scene can be defined as follows: the background light level of the viewed rearward scene is B and the peak light level for each zone or sub-array S(X) is P(z).
- the human eye can tolerate varying peak light levels in the viewed rearward scene up to a particular contrast ratio tolerance C T . Contrast ratios greater than C T initially cause discomfort and are generally known as glare. As the eye adjusts its light sensitivity to protect itself from the discomforting peak or glare light levels, vision is reduced and the glare may become disabling.
- the mirror control signal V C (z) required to obtain the desired reflectance R d (z) depends on the particular variable reflectance mirror element that is used.
- a voltage-reflectance relationship can be approximated and generally defined.
- an electrochromic mirror has a reflectance level R having a maximum value of R 1 with an applied voltage V app of 0 volts.
- V app the applied voltage
- the reflectance level R perceptually remains on the order of R 1 until V app reaches a value of approximately V 1 .
- the reflectance level R decreases approximately linearly until a minimum reflectance of approximately R 2 is reached at a voltage V 2 .
- V C ( Z ) V 1 +( R 1 ⁇ S ⁇ C T ⁇ B/P ( z )) ⁇ ( V 2 ⁇ V 1 )/( R 1 ⁇ R 2 ).
- FIG. 8A provides further detail on the steps S 150 and S 160 where the logic circuit 46 determines the background and peak light signals. More particularly, steps S 151 , S 152 , S 159 and S 160 provide two processing loops for sequentially determining the digital values indicative of the photosensor element signals, Val RA(n,m), in the RAM array RA(N,M) for each of the photosensor elements 32 a of the photosensor array PA(N,M).
- a lens correction factor LC(n,m) is applied to each digital value indicative of the photosensor element signal, Val RA(n,m), to correct for the effects of lens 30 , which results in a lens corrected digital value of the photosensor element signal Val RA LC (n,m).
- These effects are typically referred to as cosine effects or Lambert's Law effects.
- the lens correction factor LC(n,m) depends on the radial distance of the photosensor element 32 a from a central axis of the lens 30 , and is typically in the range of 1 to 15 but will depend on the geometry of the lens and the selected photosensor array.
- the lens correction factor LC(n,m) applied to each Val RA(n,m) may be calculated according to Lambert's Law each time Val RA(n,m) is processed. More preferably, the logic circuit 46 initially stores an array of values LC(n,m) in the RAM 50 for each photosensor element 32 a of the photosensor array PA(n,m) during an initialization routine. Alternatively, the size of the photosensor elements 32 a of the photosensor array 32 may be adjusted to correct for the lens effects at each photosensor element 32 a.
- the lens corrected value Val RA LC (n,m) is compared in step S 154 to the peak threshold value F. If Val RA LC (n,m) is less than or equal to F it is used to increment a counter B count , in the logic circuit 46 , by 1 in step S 157 (thereby indicating that a value less than or equal to F has been identified) and by increasing a value B Sum by the value of Val RA LC (n,m) in step S 158 , where B Sum is the sum of all the values of Val RA LC (n,m) which are less than or equal to F.
- a color correction factor CC is applied in step S 162 to B t , and P(z) to compensate for any reduction in transmittance when the reflectance level (and transmittance) of the rearview mirror 1 is reduced.
- the value of CC is determined from the last calculated value indicative of the digital mirror control signal V DAC (z) applied to the rearview mirror 1 .
- a change-limited background light signal B Lt is determined as has been described previously.
- FIG. 8B provides further detail on step S 180 where the logic circuit 46 determines the appropriate digital mirror control signal V DAC (z) for each zone or sub-array S(X) and corresponding mirror 28 .
- V DAC (z) is calculated for each mirror 28 .
- step S 183 the logic circuit 46 reads a state IN1 of the reverse-inhibit switch 38 and if the vehicle is in reverse gear so that IN1 is high, then all digital mirror control signals V DAC (z) are set to 0 in step S 184 forcing the mirror 28 to its maximum reflectance level.
- step S 185 a state IN2 of the force-to-day switch 36 is read and if IN2 is high, then all digital mirror control signals V DAC (z) are set to 0 in step 186 forcing the mirror 28 to its maximum reflectance level.
- step S 187 a state IN3 of the force-tonight switch 40 is read and if IN3 is high, then all digital mirror control signals V DAC (z) are set to 255 (the maximum digital value for eight-bit data resolution) in step S 188 forcing the mirror 28 to its minimum reflectance level.
- FIG. 9 shows another view of the logic flow whereby the rearview mirror, the left side view mirror and the right side view mirror (or alternatively three mirror segments) are independently driven to their desired reflectance levels by the independent and separate control and drive signals using photosensor element signals from three photosensor element sets (i.e., the sub-arrays S(1), S(2) and S(3) of photosensor elements 32 a in the photosensor array PA(n,m)).
- the specific subroutines shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B corresponding to the general steps shown in FIG. 7 are also used with the general steps shown in FIG. 9 .
- step S 201 light incident on the lens 30 is focused in step S 210 onto the photosensor array 32 comprising the first, second and third sets of photosensor elements 32 a in zones a, b and c, respectively.
- step S 211 the light incident on the first photosensor element set in zone a generates a first set of photosensor element signals, which, in step S 211 ′, are then stored in RAM and later used by the logic circuit 46 to determine a first peak light signal in step S 212 .
- step S 221 the light incident on the second photosensor element set in zone b generates a second set of photosensor element signals
- step S 231 the light incident on the third photosensor element set in zone c generates a third set of photosensor element signals.
- the second set of photosensor element signals, generated in step S 221 are also stored in step 221 ′ in RAM and then used by the logic circuit 46 to determine a second peak light signal in step S 222 .
- the third set of photosensor element signals, generated in step S 231 is next stored in step S 231 ′ in RAM and then used by the logic circuit 46 to determine a third peak light signal in step S 232 .
- step S 213 photosensor element signals generated from selected photosensor elements on which light is incident in step S 210 are used to determine the background light signal.
- step S 214 the logic circuit 46 uses the background light signal determined in step S 213 and the first peak light signal determined in step S 212 to determine a first control signal. Similarly, the logic circuit 46 uses the background light signal of step S 213 and the second peak light signal determined in step S 222 to determine a second control signal in step S 224 . In the same manner, the background light signal of step S 213 and the third peak light signal of step S 232 are used by the logic circuit 46 to determine a third control signal in step S 234 .
- the first control signal determined in step S 214 is used by the drive circuit 24 a to generate a first drive signal in step S 215 .
- This first drive signal drives the rearview mirror 28 a to a desired reflectance level in step S 216 .
- the second control signal determined by the logic circuit 46 in step S 224 is used by the drive circuit 24 b to generate a second drive signal in step S 225 , which is then used to drive the left side view mirror 28 b to a desired reflectance level in step S 226 .
- the third control signal determined by the logic circuit 46 in step S 234 is used by the drive circuit 24 c to generate a third drive signal to drive the right side view mirror 28 c to a desired reflectance level in step S 236 .
- the first, second and third control signals may also be used to control the segments of a mirror 28 .
- one advantage of the present invention is that it is able to use a single photosensor array 32 to determine both a background light level and a peak light level for controlling the reflectance level of a mirror. This is especially advantageous where the sensor must be placed outside the interior of the vehicle to view the rearward scene. This may be required, for example, in certain truck type vehicles where only exterior side view mirrors may be used and automatic operation is desired. Accordingly, the photosensor array 32 may be located with each side view mirror.
- the other electronics for the automatic rearview mirror system 20 described previously, may be located either with the photosensor array 32 in each side view mirror, inside the vehicle cab or elsewhere in or on the vehicle. A desired reflectance level for each exterior side view mirror may then be accurately determined using both the determined background light level and peak light level using only a single photosensor array 32 for each mirror.
- FIGS. 12 and 12A show the logic flow charts of the vehicle interior monitoring system configured as a vehicle intrusion detection system (primary task S 400 ).
- the current image data frame RA (t) is processed to enhance its contrast characteristics so that it is largely unaffected by changing light levels or shadows, etc.
- the logic circuit 46 selects an appropriate sub-array RS (t) corresponding to the sub-array S(X) (or other appropriate set) of photosensor elements 32 a of the photosensor array 32 containing the relevant image information.
- the particular area of interest or significance in the photosensor array 32 may be a sub-array S(X) of photosensor elements 32 a of the photosensor array 32 (or other appropriate set not necessarily rectangular in shape, such as a trapezoid).
- the ability to select image data corresponding to S(X) is important because some sets of photosensor elements 32 a may provide image information that is redundant, irrelevant or even damaging to a particular application and should therefore be ignored by the logic circuit 46 .
- a significant advantage of the photosensor array 32 over other sensing technologies is its ability to provide selected image information so that the logic circuit 46 need only process RS (t) when, for example, the relevant sub-array S(X) and corresponding sub-array RS (t) contain all the image information necessary to a particular application.
- a selected sub-array S(X) of photosensor elements 32 a may provide image information as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B , which may be used by logic circuit 46 to provide information regarding the location and intensity of the headlights of following vehicles. To the extent that other areas of the photosensor array 32 do not provide such image information, they may be ignored. Likewise, since the same photosensor array 32 may be used for vehicle intrusion detection, the logic circuit 46 need only process the image information of FIG. 2A that excludes the image information of FIGS. 3A and 3B . Without this ability to select particular sets or sub-arrays, at least more intensive processing may be required to distinguish between unauthorized activity within the vehicle and irrelevant activity outside the vehicle.
- the logic circuit 46 processes the values in RA (t) to enhance the contrast or robustness of that image data frame. Excluding photosensor elements 32 a in the outside rows and columns of the photosensor array 32 , every photosensor element E(n,m) has eight (8) adjacent photosensor elements 32 a or neighbors: E(n ⁇ 1,m); E(n,m1); E(n ⁇ 1,m ⁇ 1); E(n+1,m); E(n,m+1); E(n+1,m ⁇ 1); E(n ⁇ 1,m+1); and E(n+1,m+1).
- a contour value CV(n,m) for each photosensor element E(n,m) may be calculated by determining the average of the differences between the value Val RA LC (n,m) of the photosensor element E(n,m) and the value of each neighbor. If the photosensor element value is an n-bit value, then CV(n,m) is also an n-bit value. Thus, using 8-bit data resolution, for example, if E(n,m) has a 0 value and each neighbor has a value of 255, then CV(n,m) is 255. If E(n,m) has a value of 255 and each neighbor has a 0 value, then CV(n,m) is 255. Both examples indicate a high degree of local contrast or discontinuity.
- the logic circuit 46 uses the above method, to determine the contrast value CV(n,m) for each value Val RA LC (n,m) of RA (t) to obtain a contour enhanced image data frame RC (t) in which the “harder” image contours or discontinuities are emphasized or enhanced, while “softer” image contours are reduced in significance.
- step S 402 the logic circuit 46 correlates the current image data frame RC (t) and a reference image data frame RC REF(t-1) by comparing them to determine an image correlation factor IC.
- This factor is indicative of the correlation or degree of similarity (or difference) between the two image data frames independent of the particular image or photosensor array size.
- An IC value of 0 indicates no image similarity and an IC value of 1 indicates a perfect match.
- the image correlation factor IC is indicative of the number of corresponding photosensor elements 32 a within the photosensor array 32 (or sub-array S(X)) having the same value Val RA LC (n,m) within some tolerance value T for the current and reference image data frames or sets.
- the tolerance value T accounts for minor image variations, such as may be caused by system vibration or other system “noise”.
- step S 403 the logic circuit 46 determines whether certain system start-up criteria are met. This is done to ensure that a stable image data frame RC (t) is stored as RC REF(t) . Importantly, RC REF(t) must correspond to an optimized and stable image data frame RC (t) .
- electrical and thermal transients occur as is typical for silicon integrated circuits.
- satisfactory start-up criteria include: (1) a minimum number of image data frames that must be processed to allow electrical stabilization and the completion of the majority of EP and SSI optimization, where the minimum number of data frames is preferably 25 but may be in the range of 15 to 40; and (2) a stable reference image RC REF(t) , where RC REF(t) is sufficiently stable when AR is within the operating point range OP ⁇ R and IC exceeds 0.95 for at least 2 to 10 image data frames, but preferably 4 image data frames.
- step S 404 the logic circuit 46 stores RC (t) in RAM 50 as a reference image data frame RC REF(t) (which is RC REF(t) where the current image data frame is RC (t) on the next system cycle) and the program returns to step S 310 . If the start-up criteria in step S 403 are met, then the program goes to step S 405 .
- threshold values T 1 and T 2 are used to determine the degree to which the current and reference image data frames match or mismatch.
- the values T 1 and T 2 depend on the particular application and the degree of confidence or reliability required in the match/mismatch conditions of steps S 405 and S 406 .
- appropriate threshold values may range from 0.0 to 0.6 for T 1 and from 0.95 to 1.0 for T 2 , but are preferably 0.6 and 0.95 for T 1 and T 2 , respectively.
- step S 405 the logic circuit 46 determines whether IC exceeds T 1 in step S 405 . If IC does not exceed T 2 , then the program returns to step S 310 since there is neither a match nor a mismatch condition. If IC does exceed T 2 , then there is a match and the logic circuit 46 updates the reference image data frame RC REF(t) . It should be understood that RC REF(t) may be the same as RC (t) or may represent any appropriate combination of two or more image data frames.
- step S 405 If IC does not exceed T (1) in step S 405 , then the image data frames are considered a mismatch. Even though T (1) is selected so that only significant differences between RC (t) and RC REF(t-1) provide a mismatch condition, the logic circuit 46 determines in step S 408 whether the mismatch condition is a valid intrusion condition. This is because there are conditions that result in the logic circuit 46 erroneously determining a mismatch condition. For example, automotive electrical system noise may affect the ability of the photosensor array 32 to provide accurate photosensor element signals, although this normally occurs only for short periods given the nature of such noise.
- step S 408 While not all system applications may require the same level of confidence for a correct mismatch condition, it has been found that requiring a number of successive mismatch conditions represents a good validation test for step S 408 . In particular, it has been found that this validation test better ensures that the mismatch condition is valid by requiring from 2 to 300 successive mismatch conditions. Alternatively, the validation test may require from 2 to 300 initial mismatch conditions and allow a number of match conditions in step S 405 , where the number of match conditions may be from 1 to 15 depending on the required number of mismatch conditions.
- control output signals are generally of two types: (1) signals that may be used to control directly certain vehicle hardware (lights, horn, etc.); and (2) signals that may be used as inputs to other vehicle controller systems that directly interface with such hardware.
- the logic circuit 46 may output any combination of these control output signals depending on the desired level of integration between the system of the present invention and other vehicle systems. Digital control signals, such as bi stable signals or digitally coded words interpreted by other vehicle systems, are typical for most applications.
- the logic circuit 46 If the logic circuit 46 outputs bi-stable control signals directly to vehicle hardware, then the control output signal lines may be latched in a high or low state to control the vehicle hardware. If the logic circuit 46 outputs control signals to a vehicle controller system, then a higher protocol level, (such as digitally coded words) may have to be output from the logic circuit 46 .
- FIG. 12B shows the logic flow chart of the compartment image data storage system configuration (primary task routine S 500 ) of the vehicle interior monitoring systems of FIG. 12 .
- step S 501 the image data frame RA (t) (although this may be RC (t) ) is tested to determine whether it is valid.
- the logic circuit 46 may determine whether the array response AR is within the operating point range OP ⁇ R. More stringent validity tests may include vehicle feature recognition, in which the system attempts to identify reference vehicle features, such as the seats or window pillars, and if the logic circuit 46 cannot identify these reference features in RA (t) , then it determines that RA (t) is invalid. If RA (t) is valid, then RA (t) may be optionally compressed in step S 502 using any appropriate digital compression method to reduce the amount of image data.
- step S 503 the logic circuit 46 stores the image data in the nonvolatile memory 57 on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.
- the program may end or return to step S 310 to obtain and process additional image data frames depending on the particular application. If RA (t) is not valid, then in steps S 504 , S 505 , S 506 and S 507 , the logic circuit 46 determines whether the photosensor 2 has been intentionally defeated so that an accurate image data frame of the vehicle interior or compartment cannot be generated and stored in the nonvolatile memory 57 .
- steps S 504 and S 506 if it is determined that both EP and SSI are minimums, then the photosensor 2 is probably being defeated by an intruder or vehicle thief who is blinding the photosensor 2 by directing a light source, such as a bright flashlight, directly at the photosensor 2 .
- This action saturates the photosensor array 32 so that the image data frame appears “white”. Since the photosensor array 32 normally does not saturate when both EP and SSI are at their minimums, a “white” image data frame would not normally occur.
- steps S 505 and S 507 if it is determined that both EP and SSI are maximums, then the photosensor 2 is probably being defeated by an intruder who is blinding the photosensor by placing a piece of tape or other opaque material over the lens 30 (or window) which the photosensor array 32 uses for seeing the vehicle interior 100 . This action results in a “black” image data frame. Since SSI is maximized to allow the photosensor array 32 to generate images even if there is insufficient natural light, a “black” image data frame would also not normally occur.
- steps S 504 , S 505 and S 507 result in a “black” image condition or steps S 504 and S 505 result in a “white” image condition, then the logic circuit 46 outputs a control signal in step S 508 to the vehicle controller to disable the ignition control device and/or to the vehicle controller system to activate the horn and lights. Otherwise, EP and SSI have not reached their adjustment limits, and the system attempts to optimize them and generates another image data frame which is then again tested to determine its validity in step S 501 .
- the headlights and sidelights of operating vehicles are turned on as night approaches or when background lighting levels fall below approximately 500 lux. More particularly, it is desirable to have the vehicle's headlights and sidelights automatically turn on when background lighting levels fall to a sufficiently low level and automatically turn off when background lighting levels rise sufficiently.
- An advantage of the automatic rearview mirror system 20 is that the background light signal B Lt may be used to automatically turn on and off a vehicle's headlights and sidelights by controlling the vehicle lighting switch 45 .
- B Lt is determined regardless of the presence of peak light sources, such as oncoming or following headlights, the directional constraints on how and where the sensor is located or positioned are avoided. Accordingly, using the photosensor array 32 of the present invention to provide additional vehicle lighting control functions results in lower costs and improved reliability over other headlight control systems.
- the limited background light signal B Lt has been described for the purpose of controlling the reflectance levels of an automatic rearview mirror system 20 . Additionally, the logic circuit 46 may use B Lt to generate a vehicle lighting control signal to control the vehicle lighting switch 45 to turn on and off automatically the vehicle's headlights and sidelights.
- B Lt The ability to use B Lt is important because the vehicle lighting switch 45 should not be responsive to rapid or small fluctuations in background light levels in the region of the desired point at which the vehicle lighting switch is turned on or off, i.e., the switch point. Such fluctuations can be caused by the shadowing effect of overhanging trees or structures or the lighting differences between the eastern and western skylines at dawn and dusk which may be encountered when turning the vehicle.
- hysteresis is also provided between the switch-on and switch-off conditions of the vehicle lighting switch 45 to further stabilize operation of the switch 45 in such fluctuating light conditions. More specifically, if the required switch point for falling light. The levels is SP, then the switch point for rising light levels is SP ⁇ (1+H), where H is a hysteresis factor typically in the range of about 0.005 to 0.5, but is preferably 0.2. Thus, if B Lt is less than SP, then the vehicle lighting control signal to the vehicle lighting switch 45 is set high to turn on the vehicle's headlights and sidelights. If B Lt is greater than SP ⁇ (1+H), then the vehicle lighting control signal to the vehicle lighting switch 45 is set low to turn off the vehicle's headlights and sidelights.
- a time delay t d may be provided ‘such that if the ignition switch is turned off when the headlight control signal is set high, the vehicle lighting control signal will remain high for a time t d and thereafter fall to a low value to turn off the vehicle's headlights and sidelights.
- a manual control may also be provided to allow the driver to adjust the time delay t d .
- the vehicle lighting control signal and, more specifically, the lighting control switch 45 may also be used to inhibit automatic control of the automatic rearview mirror system 20 .
- the logic and control circuit 34 may be used to enable sensitivity switch 42 or some other switch allowing the driver to manually adjust the reflectance level of the mirrors 28 .
- the driver may manually select a lower reflectance level during daylight conditions to provide protection against peak light sources, such as a bright setting sun.
- the vehicle lighting control signal would indicate non-daylight conditions and the logic and control circuit 34 may then be used to disable manual control and return the automatic rearview mirror system 20 to full automatic control.
- FIG. 6B shows another embodiment of a stand-alone vehicle lighting control system, which has a number of the components identified with respect to FIG. 6 .
- the vehicle lighting control system of FIG. 6B may also be integrated with automatic rearview mirror system and vehicle interior monitoring system described herein.
- the photosensor array 32 is directed generally forward of the vehicle so that it may sense a field of view forward of the rearview mirror 1 .
- the forward field of view is through the vehicle's front windshield and generally in line with the primary vehicle direction.
- the photosensor array 32 comprises a plurality of photosensor elements 32 a arranged in 160 columns and 120 rows (a 160 ⁇ 120 array) and has a forward field of view of approximately 50 degrees centered at the vehicle center line and a vertical field of view of approximately 30 degrees, where the vertical field of view is approximately 10 degrees above and 20 degrees below the horizon in the forward field of view. It should be understood that the forward field of view may also be provided to the photosensor array 32 by using any appropriate image directing optics or other appropriate means for directing a forward field of view onto the photosensor array 32 regardless of its orientation.
- the logic and control circuit 34 processes the photosensor array signals corresponding to the forward field of view to determine an appropriate vehicle lighting configuration depending on the light information in the forward field of view. The methods used by the logic and control circuit 34 to determine the appropriate vehicle lighting configuration are described below. After determining the appropriate vehicle lighting configuration, the logic and control circuit 34 generates and applies control signals to headlight switches 29 , which comprise a low beam mode switch 29 a , a mid beam mode switch 29 b and a high beam mode switch 29 c , and to a vehicle running lights switch 31 and tail lights and side lights switches 35 . Also shown in FIG. 6B is a sensitivity control circuit 41 , which may be used to control the level of hysteresis in the vehicle lighting control system, and manual vehicle light switches 43 for manually controlling the vehicle lights.
- the photosensor array 32 is preferably located within the vehicle interior since this provides protection against the outside elements, including dirt, moisture, rain and snow, as well as reduced exposure to ultraviolet light, and generally provides a relatively controlled environment, including temperature environment. It should be understood, however, that the photosensor array 32 may also be located in one or both of the external sideview mirrors 4 and 5 , or in any other appropriate location on the vehicle.
- the methods defined for determining the change-limited background light signal B Lt may also be used to determine a change-limited background forward light signal B LFt that may be used to control the vehicle lighting system. Also, the methods previously described for determining and identifying peak light levels may generally be used to determine and identify whether there are other headlights and taillights in the driver's forward field of view.
- the logic and control circuit 34 uses this information to control automatically the vehicle headlights (low beam, mid beam and high beam modes) so as to limit the annoyance or debilitation of other vehicle drivers forward of the vehicle.
- the method for processing the forward field of view image is the same as that shown through step S 140 in the flow chart of FIG.
- FIGS. 13A , 13 B, 13 C and 13 D are the flow charts that show the methods used by the logic and control circuit 34 to determine the appropriate vehicle lighting configuration and to control the vehicle lighting system. The methods detailed in FIGS. 13A , 13 B, 13 C and 13 D may generally be described as follows:
- B LFt After the logic and control circuit 34 determines B LFt , it determines whether B LFt exceeds a threshold B DD , which corresponds to the light level at dawn, dusk or a comparable lighting condition. If B LFt exceeds B DD , then a flag F DAY corresponding to a daytime condition, which indicates that the vehicle running lights, if any, may be turned on but that vehicle headlights and taillights should otherwise be off, and resets to zero flags F LOW , F MID and F HIGH which respectively correspond to the low, mid and high beam modes for the vehicle headlights.
- a threshold B DD which corresponds to the light level at dawn, dusk or a comparable lighting condition. If B LFt exceeds B DD , then a flag F DAY corresponding to a daytime condition, which indicates that the vehicle running lights, if any, may be turned on but that vehicle headlights and taillights should otherwise be off, and resets to zero flags F LOW , F
- B LFt is less than B DD and exceeds a threshold B N , which corresponds to a light level at night below which the mid or high beam modes may be operated, then the logic and control circuit 34 sets F LOW to 1 and resets F DAY , F MID and F HIGH .
- the logic and control circuit 34 processes a mid zone, which corresponds to a sub-array S(X) within the array PA(N,M) of the photosensor array 32 .
- This mid zone or zone of interest represents an appropriate area of the forward field of view image, in which the vehicle headlights may be set to their mid beam mode if there are no other vehicles as indicated by other vehicle light sources (headlights or taillights) within the mid zone. If there are no other vehicle light sources, then the logic and control circuit 34 sets F MID to 1 and resets F LOW . Otherwise, F LOW remains set, and the logic and control circuit 34 determines and processes the next set of photosensor element signals.
- the logic and control circuit 34 processes a high zone corresponding to the Array PA(N,M).
- the high zone represents an appropriate area of the forward field of view image, in which the vehicle headlights may be set to their high beam mode if there are no other vehicle light sources within the high zone. If there are no other vehicle light sources, then the logic and control circuit 34 sets F HIGH to 1 and resets F MID . Otherwise, F MID remains set, and the system determines and processes the next set of photosensor element signals.
- More complex vehicle lighting configurations may be controlled by determining an appropriate zone of interest for each available vehicle lighting mode or pattern.
- hysteresis is used to moderate the frequency of transitions between the various beam modes and is reflected in FIGS. 13A , 13 B, 13 C and 13 D by low beam counter LC, mid beam counter MC, high beam counter HC and night counter NC, each having corresponding hysteresis values LC1, MC1, HC1 and NC1, respectively.
- the hysteresis values may correspond to about I to 30 forward field of view image frames, and therefore correspond to a certain period of time since each image frame takes on the order of about 0.1 seconds to process.
- hysteresis has only been provided for transitions from low to mid or mid to high transitions, while transitions from high to mid or mid to low occur after the processing of only one image frame.
- hysteresis may also be used for transitions from high to mid or mid to low.
- transitions to the initial low beam mode may be delayed on the order of 15 seconds to five minutes, rather than occurring within one image frame as described herein.
- specific time delays of from about 1 to 15 seconds, or any other appropriate delay be used for transitions between beam modes.
- the vehicle driver may use the sensitivity control circuit 41 to adjust the level of hysteresis.
- the vehicle driver may also use the manual vehicle light switches 43 to override the vehicle lighting control system.
- FIG. 13A shows the initialization of the system and the initial low beam mode determination
- FIG. 13B shows the initial mid and high beam mode determinations
- FIG. 13C shows subsequent transitions from the mid beam mode to either the low or high beam modes
- FIG. 13D shows subsequent transitions from the high beam mode to the mid and low beam modes.
- the logic and control circuit 34 sets flag F DAY to 1, sets flags F LOW , F MID , F HIGH and F N to 0, and sets counters LC, MC, HC and NC to 0.
- step S 610 the logic and control circuit 34 determines B LFt as previously described.
- step S 620 if B LFt is not less than B DD , then the logic and control circuit 34 determines whether LC equals or exceeds LC1 in step S 621 . If LC is less than LC1, then LC is incremented in step S 624 and the processing is returned to step 610 . If LC equals or exceeds LC1, then the logic and control circuit 34 in step S 622 sets F DAY to 1, resets flags F LOW , F MID and F HIGH to 0 and also resets a flag F TSL , which corresponds to the status of the vehicle tail lights and side lights.
- step S 623 the logic and control circuit outputs control signals to disable all vehicle night lights, including the headlights, side lights and tail lights.
- step S 620 If in step S 620 , B LFt is less than B DD , then the system goes to step S 630 .
- step S 630 if LC exceeds 0, then LC is decremented in step S 631 and the system returns to step S 610 . If LC equals 0 in step S 630 , then the logic and control circuit 34 sets F DAY to 0 in step S 640 , and then goes to step S 650 .
- step S 650 if B LFt is not less than B N , then the logic and control circuit 34 determines whether NC equals or exceeds NC1 in step S 651 . If not, then NC is incremented in step S 653 . If yes, then NC is set to NC1 in step S 652 .
- step S 900 F N is then reset and the system goes to step S 900 .

- FIG. 13B shows the logic for making an initial transition from the low beam mode to the mid beam mode and for making an initial transition from the initial mid beam mode to the initial high beam mode.
- step S 920 if F N equals 1, then the system returns to step S 610 . Otherwise, the logic and control circuit 34 processes the Sub-Array S(X) in step S 930 to determine whether there are any other vehicles (OV) in S(X) in the forward field of view, as previously described.
- step S 940 if OV is in S(X), then MC and HC are reset in step S 941 and the system returns to step S 610 . If not, then the system goes to step S 950 .
- step S 951 If MC does not equal or exceed MC1, then MC is incremented in step S 951 and processing returns to step S 610 . Otherwise, F MID is set and F LOW is reset in step S 960 , and the logic and control circuit 34 outputs control signals to enable the mid beam mode and disable the low beam mode in step S 970 .
- step S 980 the logic and control circuit 34 processes PA(N,M) to determine if there are any other vehicles (OV) in PA(N,M).
- step S 990 if OV is not in PA(N,M), then HC is incremented and the system returns to step S 610 . Otherwise, F HIGH is set and F MID is reset in step S 1000 , after which the logic and control circuit 34 outputs control signals to enable the high beam mode and disable the mid beam mode in step S 1010 , and the system returns to step S 610 .
- FIG. 13C shows the logic for making transitions from the mid beam mode to either low or high beam modes.

- the logic and control circuit 34 processes PA(N,M) for OV in step S 730 .
- step S 740 if OV is in PN(N,M), then HC is reset in step S 741 and the system returns to step S 610 . Otherwise, in step S 750 , if HC does not equal or exceed HC1, then HC is incremented in step S 751 and processing returns to step S 610 . If HC equals or exceeds HC1 in step S 750 , then F HIGH is set and F MID is reset, after which the logic and control circuit 34 outputs control signals to enable the high beam mode and disable the mid beam mode in step S 770 and then returns to step S 610 .

- vehicle interior monitoring system configured as a vehicle intrusion detection system by vertically extending the effective field of view of the photosensor array 32 and by providing vehicle intrusion detection logic in the logic circuit 26 .
- the automotive rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring systems do not have to function simultaneously in both the vehicle intrusion detection mode and automatic rearview mirror mode. Therefore, the operation of the vehicle intrusion detection mode may be described independently of the operation of the automatic rearview mirror mode.
- a switch is used to input a mode select signal to the logic circuit 46 to select the desired operating mode.
- each photosensor element 32 a is associated with a small and unique portion of the imaged scene.
- each photosensor element 32 a senses light within its own image cone.
- each photosensor element 32 a is responsive to an area approximately one (1) inch square at 100 inches, which is about the maximum distance from the photosensor array 32 mounted in the rearview mirror 1 to most vehicle cabin interior surfaces within the area of interest.
- one set of about 6,400 (160 ⁇ 40 sub-array) photosensor elements 32 a are used in the automatic rearview mirror mode and another set of about 12,800 (160 ⁇ 80 sub-array) photosensor elements 32 a are used in the vehicle intrusion detection mode.
- the ability of the photosensor array 32 a to resolve the area of interest into a number of data values and to select particular image information, while ignoring other image information, is significant and distinguishes this vehicle intrusion detection system from other vehicle intrusion detection systems and technologies.
- the automatic rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring system as shown in the schematic block diagram of FIG. 10A is identical to the automatic rearview mirror system shown in the schematic block diagram of FIG. 10 except as follows.
- the array size required for an independent automatic rearview mirror system must be expanded from 160 ⁇ 40 to 160 ⁇ 120 to provide a larger effective field of view that includes most of the vehicle interior 100 .
- additional logic or control circuitry is incorporated in logic circuit 46 to process the vehicle intrusion detection logic of FIGS. 12 and 12A .
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 includes additional control input lines for the “arming” and “alerting” control input signals and control output lines to interface with vehicle hardware or vehicle controller systems.
- the regulation and transient protection circuit 22 also has an additional vehicle power supply line (12V BATTERY), and a switch or other logic for providing a mode select signal that is input to the light sensing and logic circuit 26 .
- the regulation and transient protection 22 includes the additional vehicle battery power supply line for supplying power directly from the vehicle battery.
- the regulation and transient protection circuit 22 also includes a switch or other logic circuit (not shown) to output a mode select signal to the light sensing and logic circuit 26 .
- the mode select signal is low (0 volts) when power is not available through the ignition switch controlled power supply circuit and high (5 volts) when it is.
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 includes an input line to receive an “arming” input signal 49 a to actively arm the vehicle intrusion detection system.
- vehicle systems are typically used to supply an “arming” input signal.
- Such systems may be actuated by using conventional infrared or RF type remote control or by the activation of central door locking systems using the door key or entry combination keypad.
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 also includes input lines to receive an “alert” input signal(s) 49 b to increase the sampling rate, such as when a trunk lid opening has been detected and increased monitoring may be required.
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 also includes one or more output signal lines to the vehicle hardware 45 a and/or to the vehicle controller system 48 , for activating the horn and lights or disabling the ignition control device.
- the control output signal is normally low (0 volts) and goes high (5 volts) when there is an intrusion condition, but may also be a data word providing more detailed information, (such as the location of the intrusion) to the vehicle controller system.
- the regulation and transient protection circuit 22 When power is supplied to the automatic rearview mirror system through the ignition switch controlled power supply circuit, the regulation and transient protection circuit 22 outputs a high (5 volts) mode select signal to the logic circuit 46 . This causes it to select the automatic rearview mirror mode and the system functions as an automatic rearview mirror system as previously described.
- the mode select signal goes low (0 volts) and the logic circuit 46 sets the system to a low power mode, in which the logic circuit 46 only monitors the status of the mode select and “arming” control input signals.
- the vehicle intrusion detection mode is available, but the system is not “armed” and it is not monitoring the vehicle cabin.
- the logic circuit 46 enters the vehicle intrusion detection mode described with respect to FIGS. 12 and 12A .
- step S 301 the logic circuit 46 initializes the system (e.g., resets the counters, etc., used in the automatic rearview mirror mode) and sets EP to its maximum value and SSI to its minimum level. Since the lighting levels are not known and may be at any level within the full operating range of the system at the time of arming, the system must determine the optimum combination of EP and SSI by maximizing the number of photosensor elements 32 a providing useful image data. To minimize system power consumption, the method is biased to minimize SSI and maximize EP.
- step S 310 the status of the mode select, “arming” and “alerting” signals is monitored to confirm the appropriate operating mode.
- the system For example, if the “arming” signal goes inactive, then the system returns to a disarmed, low power mode and only monitors the mode select and “arming” signals. If there is no status change, then the system generates and stores RA (t) (using steps S 101 to S 140 of FIG. 7 ).
- the logic circuit 46 ignores RAM array data corresponding to the 160 ⁇ 40 array of photosensor elements 32 a generally associated with the window areas as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B , and processes the RAM array data corresponding to the 160 ⁇ 80 array of photosensor elements 32 a generally associated with the vehicle cabin interior generally excluding the window areas of FIGS. 3A and 3B . It should be understood that a trapezoidal sub-set of RAM array data, corresponding to the same sub-set of photosensor elements 32 a , may be selected so as to better correspond to the vehicle cabin interior excluding the window areas.
- step S 320 the logic circuit 46 determines AR by calculating the average value of all the values in the selected sub-set of RAM array data.
- AR may be in they range 0 to 255 (8-bit data resolution), but it is preferably at the operating point OP of 127 (mid-point of the range); however, for system stability purposes the range factor R results in an operating point OP range of 127 ⁇ 20.
- step S 330 and S 360 it is determined whether AR is in the range OP ⁇ R. If AR is outside the range, then EP and SSI are incrementally increased or decreased according to steps S 341 , S 342 or S 351 , S 352 . This is repeated for every image data frame.
- the system thus optimizes EP and SSI for the particular circumstances at system startup, and thereafter continues to adjust EP and SSI to maintain AR within the range OP ⁇ R as lighting conditions change. If AR is within the range, then the program enters the primary task S 400 in block S 370 .
- the vehicle intrusion detection system is designed to be responsive or sensitive to movement or motion within the vehicle interior 100 and insensitive to changes in general lighting conditions, moving shadows, etc. The system does this by reducing every image data frame to its robust and unique characteristics, largely unaffected by random light sources or changes in general lighting conditions.
- the contour enhanced image data frame RC (t) is stored as the reference image data frame. Every image data frame is processed in the same way as the reference image and is then compared to the reference image. Decisions are reached after several images have been compared producing the same result. Three conclusions are possible after comparing images in the manner described. Images, may be essentially the same, significantly different or neither similar enough nor different enough to make a decision. If this first condition exists for long enough, changes to the reference image are considered. Confirmation of the differences over several images result in a concluded intrusion.
- step S 401 the logic circuit 46 converts RA (t) to its contour enhanced form RC (t) by calculating the average difference between the value of RA (t) for each element E(n,m) and each of its eight (8) neighbors.
- the system must electrically stabilize and must also adjust EP and SSI to optimize the image data frame stored as R REF(t) . This is done by cycling at least several times from step S 310 through steps S 403 and S 404 and then returning to step S 310 .
- step S 404 the image data frame RC (t) is stored in RAM 50 as RC REF(t) so that RC (t) and RC REF(t-1) are available in step S 402 in RAM 50 for comparison.
- step S 402 the correlation factor IC for RC (t) and RC REF(t-1) is determined. During this start-up period, EP and SSI become stable.
- step S 403 the start-up criteria are tested, as previously described, and if the count is greater than 25 and the images RC (t) and RC REF(t-1) correlate (IC exceeds 0.95), then the system continues through step S 405 . Otherwise, it continues through step S 404 until the image is stable.
- IC is tested against T 1 in step S 405 , where T 1 is 0.6 (T 1 may be less than 0.6). If the degree of correlation or correspondence between the current and reference image data frames is poor (IC is less than 0.6), then the image data frames are judged to be sufficiently different to suggest that vehicle intrusion has occurred. Vehicle intrusion detection systems are evaluated on their ability to detect intrusion conditions and to avoid false intrusion conditions.
- step S 408 the number of successive mismatch conditions is counted and compared to a preset value of 20 (which may be in the range 2 to 300), and a valid intrusion detection condition is established in step S 408 after 20 successive mismatch conditions.
- step S 409 the logic circuit 46 outputs control signals to vehicle hardware 45 a or to the vehicle controller system 48 for further processing, which may result in an alarm sounding, vehicle immobilization or other appropriate action.
- the system continues to monitor the vehicle interior or compartment by returning to step S 310 . If the number of successive mismatch conditions falls below 20 in step S 408 , then the system returns to step S 310 .
- step S 405 if IC is greater than 0.6, then the images are not sufficiently different to confirm an intrusion condition. It is desirable to update the reference image data frame RC REF(t) if changes occur due to minor and slowly changing conditions outside the vehicle, such as changing light levels or slowly moving shadows due to the sun tracking across the sky. Accordingly, in step S 406 , IC is compared to T 2 (where T 2 is 0.95 but may be in the range 0.95 to 1), and if IC exceeds T 2 then the logic circuit 46 updates and stores the reference image data frame RC REF(t) in step S 407 . The logic circuit 46 may replace RC REF(t-1) with RC (t) or modify RC REF(t-1) as previously described. The system continues to monitor the vehicle interior by returning to step S 310 until the “arming” control input signal goes inactive.
- the larger field of view provided by the 160 ⁇ 120 array of the vehicle intrusion detection system enables further analysis of the rearward scene.
- the background light signal B t may be determined using a larger set of photosensor array elements 32 a .
- the combination of the automatic rearview mirror detection system and vehicle intrusion detection system additionally provides an opportunity for using SSI to illuminate the vehicle interior under dark conditions for the purpose of precise identification of specific vehicle features such as those indicated in FIG. 2A .
- Vehicle feature identification is useful in the automatic rearview mirror system because it allows the logic circuit 46 to select each of the sub-arrays S(X) of photosensor elements 32 a corresponding to zones a, b and c indicated in FIGS. 3A and 3B . This is useful when the photosensor array 32 is positioned in the rearview mirror 1 . Active adjustment allows the logic circuit 46 to select sets or sub-arrays S(X) of photosensor elements 32 a such that zones a, band care indicative of identical vehicle regions independently of driver rearview mirror 1 adjustment.
- the system described may be operated in a low power mode by reducing the sampling rate at which images are obtained and processed, such as one image data frame per second.
- the logic circuit 46 may return to its normal sampling rate. Alternatively, this may also be achieved by having the system use the lower sampling rate until the logic circuit 46 establishes a poor image correlation (i.e., IC ⁇ 0.6) in step S 406 and selects the higher sampling rate.
- the vehicle interior monitoring system may also be configured as a compartment image data storage system to store any compartment image, such as the driver image, in the nonvolatile memory 57 .
- the automatic rearview mirror and vehicle interior monitoring system configured as a compartment image data storage system is shown in the schematic block diagram of FIG. 10A and the previous description of FIGS. 10 and 10A applies except as follows.
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 does not use control input lines for receiving the “arming” control input signal 49 a and the “alerting” control input signal(s) 49 b as in the vehicle intrusion detection system.
- the additional vehicle power supply line (12V BATTERY) and mode select signal line are also not used in the specific embodiment described herein.
- the compartment image data storage system may be limited to operating when the vehicle has been started since both authorized and unauthorized drivers actuate the ignition switch to start the vehicle (the vehicle thief may, of course, break the steering column ignition lock system to do this).
- the light sensing and logic circuit 26 includes input/output lines to interface with the nonvolatile memory/data access logic and port 65 , which comprises the nonvolatile memory 57 , access/security decoding logic 58 circuit and data access part 59 of FIG. 6A .
- the image data frame may be compressed using any appropriate digital image compression technique as discussed with respect to FIG. 6A .
- the image data frame is then stored in the nonvolatile memory 57 , such as an EEPROM or any other appropriate nonvolatile memory, which has sufficient storage to store a predetermined number of image data frames.
- the compartment image data storage system may be configured to store a single image data frame in the nonvolatile memory 57 for each ignition cycle.
- the regulation and transient protection circuit 22 supplies 5 volts to the light sensing and logic circuit 26 , which begins system initialization for a set period of between zero (0) seconds and two (2) minutes, but preferably 30 seconds. This delay condition or wait state reduces the opportunity for vehicle thieves to detect SSI which may be emitted during the image optimization process of FIG. 12 .
- the compartment image data storage system operates as has already been described with respect to FIGS. 12A and 12B .
- the nonvolatile memory 57 should be sufficiently large to store a number N of valid image data frames RA (t) to document N sequential ignition cycles where N is in the range of 2 to 10, but is preferably 5.
- the image data frames are addressed via pointers that select a general memory location which are used to store each valid image data frame RA (t) .
- the pointer addressing scheme is cycled on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis so that the most recent valid image data frames replace the “oldest” image data frames in the nonvolatile memory 57 .
- FIFO first-in-first-out
- multiple valid image data frames may be stored for a single ignition cycle.
- This second version of the compartment image data storage system performs exactly as the first description except as follows. After storage of the initial image data frame, the system returns to step S 310 and the logic circuit 46 generates a random wait state ranging from 8 to 15 minutes during which the system stops generating image data frames.
- the system proceeds to attempt generate another valid image data frame.
- This cycle of randomly waiting and then attempting to generate valid image data frames is continued as long as the ignition supplies power to the system. This approach is more difficult for thieves to defeat.
- This system may also be configured as a real time image data storage system (e.g., 30 frames per second).
- a real time image data storage system e.g. 30 frames per second.
- An initiation sensor such as accelerometers, motion sensors, vibration sensors or any other sensor capable of detecting vehicle motion, inputs an initiation signal, and after receiving the initiation signal, the light sensing and logic circuit 26 generates and stores in real-time the image data frames for a predetermined period, such as 10 seconds.
- the nonvolatile memory 57 is preferably housed in a separate module in a physically difficult to access location within the vehicle, such as high on the fire wall behind the instrument cluster.
- the module is preferably a durable metal housing or other housing sufficiently durable so that it will protect the nonvolatile memory 57 from extreme shock or heat, such as might occur in a vehicle accident.
- access may be limited by the security access/decoding logic 58 .
- the security access codes necessary to access the image data frames may, for example, be distributed only to authorized persons. When the proper security access code is entered, the image data frames may be accessed through the access port 59 ; typically, the access port 59 is a multi-pin connector to which a data retrieval system may be connected.
- vehicle interior monitoring system including the vehicle intrusion detection system and the compartment image data storage system configurations, may be implemented as an independent or stand-alone system in a module (without the automatic rearview mirror system), and that it may be mounted independently within the vehicle, such as in the headliner, headliner console or other appropriate areas.
- the performance of the vehicle interior monitoring systems described herein may be enhanced by providing enhanced infrared reflectance characteristics in certain areas within the vehicle interior 100 .
- some fibers such as cotton and silk
- tend to reflect near infrared illumination better than other fibers such as nylon and rayon
- a pattern may be established in the vehicle interior 100 such as on the driver seat 101 or passenger seat 102 or front or rear seats or on the vehicle's interior door panels, etc., by using different fibers or other materials to establish a pattern, such as a grid or any other appropriate pattern.
- Near infrared illumination of the pattern provides a higher contrast image to the photosensor array 32 . This better ensures that the logic circuit 46 accurately determines, for example, the presence of an intruder, an occupant or other object (such as a child restraint system in the front passenger seat).
- any near infrared reflective pattern in the vehicle will generally provide a higher contrast pattern to the photosensor array 32 because of natural sources (sunlight) or supplemental sources of near infrared of illumination.
- light levels fall below some predetermined level (typically in the range of about 0.1 lux to 5 lux)
- near infrared SSI may be used to provide a higher contrast image pattern, to the photosensor array 32 .
- the vehicle interior monitoring system may also be used to monitor the vehicle interior 100 to determine whether there is an adult occupant, a child restraint system or no occupant in the front or rear passenger seat areas.
- Various mechanical and electrical sensors have been considered or used for detecting or sensing the size and presence of vehicle occupants, particularly those in the front passenger seat. These sensors include pressure sensors (mechanical and solid-state), accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors and mechanical or electrical switch mechanisms for indicating seat belt use.
- sensors include pressure sensors (mechanical and solid-state), accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors and mechanical or electrical switch mechanisms for indicating seat belt use.
- the vehicle interior monitoring system may be configured as a vehicle occupant detection system that may be used to aid in the intelligent deployment of air bags depending, for example, on the status of the vehicle occupant.
- Image information such as size, shape, contour and motion may be processed by the logic circuit 46 to determine whether to output a control signal to the air bag deployment system to prevent an air bag from deploying (such as a passenger air bag when there is no front seat passenger) or for controlling the rate at which the airbag deploys.
- FIGS. 6 , 6 A, 6 B, 10 and 10 A are well known in the art relating to automatic rearview mirrors, vehicle lighting systems and vehicle intrusion detection systems, and their specific construction and operation is not critical to the invention or the best mode for carrying out the present invention.

Since such digital circuit construction or programming per se is not part of the invention, no further description thereof is deemed necessary.
Abstract
Description
for n=1 to N, m=1 to M. Using the array average method, it has been found that appropriate OP and R values are 127 and 20 (8-bit data resolution), respectively; however, the operating point range may be non-symmetrical for some tasks by using non-symmetrical R values, such as +20 and −10.
V app =V 1+(R 1 −R)×(V 2 −V 1)/(R 1 −R 2)
V C(Z)=V 1+(R 1 −S×C T ×B/P(z))×(V 2 −V 1)/(R 1 −R 2).
To obtain a digital value VDAC(z), VC(z) is scaled by a factor that is the ratio of the maximum digital value to the value V2; thus, for eight-bit data resolution VDAC(z)=255 VC(z)/V2, and substituting for VC(z):
V DAC(z)=255(V 1+(R 1 −S×C T ×B/P(z))×(V 2 −V 1)/(R 1 −R 2))/V 2
